ELECTRONIC MARKSHEET

Implications of CAPS document: Choice to record project/investigation in term 1 or 2. Combination (25% & 75%) applies to term I or term 2. This term weighting only applies to the term where the

project/investigation is done. Where there are three tasks in the term where the

project/investigation is done, the project/investigation must contribute 25% and the other two tasks 37,5% each to the term mark.

The 7 Formal Assessment Tasks : Grade 10-11

• 5 tests• 1 project / investigation• June examination• Final examinationOr • 4 tests• 1 assignment• 1 project / investigation• June examination• Final examination

The 7 Formal Assessment Tasks : Grade 12

• 3 tests• 1 assignment• 1 project / investigation• June examination• Trial examination

MINIMUM CASS REQUIREMENTS GRADE 10-12

Tests should be at least ONE hour long and count at least 50 marks. Project or investigation must contribute 25% of term 1 marks while the test marks contribute 75% of the term 1 marks. The combination (25% and 75%) of the marks must appear in the learner’s report. Formula sheet must not be provided for tests and for final examinations in grade 10-11.


Mid-year examination: Grade 10 : One paper of 2 hours (100 marks) OR two papers

of 1 hour each (50 marks each). Grade 11 :

Paper 1 : 2 hours (100 marks made up as follows: general algebra (25+/-3);equations and inequalities (35+/-3); number patterns (15+/-3);functions (25+/-3)

Paper 2 : 2 hours (100 marks made up as follows: analytical geometry (30+/-3) and trigonometry (70+/-3)

Grade 12 : Two papers of 3 hours (150 marks each) – June and Sep.


Final examination:

Grade 10 : Two papers of 2 hours each (100 marks per paper).

Cognitive levels for Grade 10-12

Knowledge 20%

Routine Procedures 35%

Complex Procedures 30%

Problem Solving 15%

Knowledge (20%) Straight recall.

Identification of correct formula on the information sheet(no changing of the subject).

Use of mathematical facts.

Appropriate use of mathematical vocabulary.

Routine Procedures (35%)

Estimation and appropriate rounding of numbers. Proofs of prescribed theorems and derivation of formulae. Identification and direct use of correct formula on the information sheet(no changing of the subjects). Perform well known procedures. Simple applications and calculations which might involve few steps. Derivation from given information may be involved. Identification and use (after changing the subject) of correct formula. Generally similar to those encountered in class.

Complex Procedures (30%) Problems involve complex calculations and/or higher order reasoning. There is often not an obvious route to the solution. Problems need not be based on a real world context. Could involve making significant connections between different representations. Require conceptual understanding.

Problem Solving (15%)

Non-routine problems (which are not necessarily difficult). Higher order reasoning and processes are involved. Might require the ability to break the problem down into its constituent parts.

Moderation : 2016

• Internal Moderation

• Curriculum Adviser: First Round

• Curriculum Adviser : Final Moderation and Verification:

• HOD(or subject head) if HOD not subject specialist• Moderation of tasks and assessment tools BEFORE task

is given to learners• Moderation of completed tasks of learners – 10%• Record the moderated tasks (Names & Marks)• Please record on electronic sheets.• Moderation of the recorded marks• Content page by teacher• Report by CA

INTERNAL MODERATION

Moderation: What to look for?• Duration, length• Weighting of content• Weighting of cognitive levels• Language – mathematical vs layman• Use of pictures, diagrams, graphs to facilitate

language• Technical care : Typed; Same font; NO copy and

paste.• Memoranda : Neatness; marks allocation;

explanation for marks given.

Instrument to be used.
